LPG tanker or LPG carrier is a vessel designed specifically to carry bulk quantities of liquefied petroleum gasses (LPG) or liquefied natural gasses (LNG) from one destination to another. LPG results in lower CO2 emissions than other energy sources, which makes it a better alternative for the environment. The growing use of natural gas in various industries and an increasing number of floating storage and regasification units in end-user industries have increased the need for LPG tankers. However, the crude oil price fluctuations cause changes in LPG prices. In addition, LPG tankers have storage limitations, which can cause leakage, resulting in low demand for LPG tankers. Furthermore, advancements in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques and the increasing need for transportation and safe storage of liquefied petroleum gas are estimated to generate lucrative opportunities for LPG tankers in the future.
